As far as we’re concerned, it doesn’t count as a weekend until you have a good cocktail. And sometimes it’s just too hard to choose – do you go with the jalapeno mimosa? The peach-sweetened bourbon? Or a classic margarita?
Good news: Deep Eddy Vodka has crafted us the Ruby Slipper, a spicy-sweet concoction that mixes their naturally flavored grapefruit vodka with fruits and habanero spices. The best part is, you can drink vodka and drink locally: Deep Eddy Vodka is made in an Austin, Texas distillery with premium fruit juices, essential oils, natural sweeteners, and local Austin honey. Happy swilling!
